Meet Dr. Harre

Dr. Paula Harre is devoted to creating your beautiful smile! She absolutely loves her career choice and the lifelong relationships she has formed with her patients. She has been creating great smiles at Harre Orthodontics since 1995.

As a native to Lincoln, Nebraska, Dr. Harre graduated from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and the University of Nebraska Medical Center College of Dentistry. Upon completion of a general practice residency at the Veteran’s Hospital in Omaha, she started her family dental practice in Broken Bow, Nebraska where she practiced for nine years.

Her desire to specialize in orthodontics brought her back to the University of Nebraska Medical Center College of Dentistry where Dr. Harre received her Master’s Degree and orthodontic specialty certificate. She is certified by the American Board of Orthodontists which is one step beyond the three years of advanced education required for a dentist to become a specialist in orthodontics. Only one-third of all U.S. orthodontists are certified by the American Board of Orthodontics.

Dr. Harre was the Nebraska Director of the American Association of Orthodontists for eight years, representing her Nebraska orthodontic colleagues at the regional and national level. Dr. Harre has also been teaching orthodontics at the University of Nebraska Dental College since 1992.
